Excellent! *nods in approval*

Were you sitting on the so-fa while you did it???

Hope you enjoyed my tonic doo-dah in my unrecognisable piece thread earlier, C

I haven't done anything musical today

Yes you have Nicki - you've visited a well-known music forum......

That happens every day!

I haven't flute played

Make up for it tomorrow Nicki.

Tomorrow I'm out all day! But on Sunday I am practicing for busk and on Monday I am busking

Sounds like fun! Hope it goes well.

Thankyou

Does dreaming of an alto flute count as a musical activity?

Only if you're playing it in your dream Nicki.

Darn, hehe!

No- on a piano stool, whilst holding onto a cello, trying to learn the hand movements. Confuddling for someone who, though has had music lessons for over 10 years, has never used this method.
I feel I should have done, and reckon it may be useful for teaching- so need to start practising!


Add to the list of musical activities, a saxophone practise- I can still play, and will, from a weeks time, play in a band (I hasten to add, a brass band- to help a new tenor horn player- oh the amusement! )

I certainly did- but I'm not quite as fluent in doo-dah as in solfa so maggie got it before I did...




Of course! Baggy made her dream a reality today and bought herself an alto flute (with a little help from Big Sis)!!!

Bag takes you out to celebrate your birthday, and you buy her a present? She has a great deal there!

Good luck with the practising! If I can help in any way please just shout in my direction .

I've done music revision !!
I also did some practice, which I'd neglected because of revision...

I re-auditioned for a couple of youth orchestras - and ended up leading the second violins

Woo!

I did some flute duets with Thomxxx

There you go, I had a feeling you'd make up for no fluting yesterday by doing some today Nicki!

I've been playing a jazzy piano piece!!!!!

da-da-da-da! da-da-da-da-!.......

da-da-da daaa-daaa-daaa-daaa-daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa........

da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da!

Well not very much Barry.

OHHHHHH I also listened to the recording CD - how fantastic

.........oh, all right then.....

da-da daaaaa-daaaaa-daaaaa-daaaaa-daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

Yay!

I'll name that tune in one!!!!

I'm sure I recognise it...

Daa-da-da-daa-da-da-daa-da-daa-da

Anyone remember that piece?

Hey tonic doodah - Nat's legacy lives on!

"When The Saints Go Marching In" of course!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hear the Leeds forum band play this next Saturday.

Might write a vocal part that goes 'da-da-da-daaaaaaa' etc. before the day if you're really unlucky....

Yes..you must!!!!!! St George will sing it!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wonder how katyjay'd react to someone going 'da-da-da-daaaaa' at a loud volume over her singing.....

oooh yes...beware the rolled up Oxford Companion to Music in her hands.......

Ahh but katyjay is Not Very Scary. She said so herself...

I really must become fluent in tonic doodah...

Many years ago Piers Adams came to teach the children in a primary school I was teaching in and also played a mini-concert for them . The children all wrote thank-you letters afterwards. One puzzled me. It read:

Dear Piers,

Thank you for playing for us. I especially liked it when you played der der der der der der der der der der der der der der der der der der der der der der der der der der der der der der der der der der der der der der der der der der der der der der der der der der der der der der der der der der der der der der.

From Patrick.

I collared Patrick and asked him to read his letter to me as it didn't make any sense. He got to the bit that said 'I especially liked it when you played...' and then he launched into singing the Match of the Day theme tune - naturally, every note was sung to 'der'.

Silly me, not to have recognised it...

Would a sherry help to provide fluency in tonic doodah ?

Did someone mention the word 'sherry'???

That looks like one of my exam questions - add the bar lines, the time signature and the correct beaming

But then I might have got exams on the brain, ATM I'm revising for my G3 Theory in three weeks' time....

I don't want to depress you, Skylark, but your exam is in 2 weeks 5 days time. My musical activity today was going to Wigmore Hall to watch two violin sonatas.

I had my music listening lesson, and I found out that I passed my third year Int 2 exam

Did 3.5-4 hours of busking - raised £130

That is brilliant, Nicki. Were you pleased with your performance? I have forgotten where your original thread is.

Wow Nicki! Well done!

Well done Clariano! .........



.........and well done Nicki!

Have spent several hours today slogging through Harmony in Practice (big orange book) in preparation for grade 7 theory in a coupe of weeks. Argh, feels like wading through treacle...

I did some piano playing, and also thought about revision for my AS next week

Can I join in?

Today I bashed my finger while cleaning a paintbrush (don't ask!!!) so the nearest I have been to practicing my violin was listening to Vivaldi's Aminor violin concerto on CD. *misery*

Well, I modified the bits I couldn't do, and improvised the rest!

Have had a very enjoyable afternoon and evening with forum friends, rehearsing, having a joint rehearsal-and-music-lesson, and some well-earned pizza for after .
